NCT04647760Completed
Packaging and Disseminating the JOIN for ME Program in Low-Income Settings
Source: ClinicalTrials.gov · Last updated 16 Jul 2025
Brief summary (registry, in English)
One in five children in the United States have obesity, and under-served populations are differentially impacted by both obesity and its related health consequences. Thus, community-based programs that improve the dissemination of effective obesity treatments are needed within low income settings. The current study aims to test the effectiveness of an evidence-based, community centered program, JOIN for ME, in two types of community settings: housing authorities and patient-centered medical homes. Children between the ages of 6-12 years old and who meet study eligibility criteria will be enrolled in the study and participate in the JOIN for ME weight control intervention. Participants will be assigned to active or delayed treatment conditions (4-month delay) but all participants will receive the JOIN for ME program. The program will be delivered in English or Spanish. Primary outcomes include change in child and parent weight status and health-related quality of life.
